Judging the Archon Genomics XPRIZE presented by Express Scripts

Creating a "Medical Grade" Standard

The Archon Genomics XPRIZE presented by Express Scripts created a “Validation Protocol” that defines for the first time what it means to have a complete and accurate “medical grade" whole human genome sequence.

The primary role of the Validation Protocol is to enable the XPRIZE Foundation to declare a winner of the $10 Million Competition without controversy. In addition we are working with key stakeholders to establish the Validation Protocol as a global, consensus-driven "medical grade" standard for genomic-based medicine.
